Caution

Depending on the communication protocol used, data that is passed to 3rd party systems could be intercepted from the wire and tampered with; for example, when the protocol between the Policy Module and the 3rd party product is HTTP. The user is responsible for choosing a secure protocol, such as HTTPS, for all data transmissions between Orchestrator and any other product.
